GILFORD — Parks and Recreation Department director Herb Greene announced yesterday that he has canceled a Monday forum about the property tax cap article on the 2012

town warrant that was to have feature school Superintendent Kent Hemingway.

Greene said the decision came when fellow town employees pointed out that a forum held with only one speaker of the tax cap issue would have not been

appropriate because all sides of the issue could have equal representation. Presumably Hemingway was not going to speak in favor of the initiative.

He said the idea of a presentation in front of a townsponsored organization for

senior citizens — called Senior Moment-um — was mentioned to him in passing by Hemingway, who asked him if his department sponsored any programs where he could talk about the issue. see GiLfOrd page 8

Utah mom gives birth to her third Leap Day baby

PROVO, Utah (AP) — In one of the rarest feats in the annals of family planning, a Utah woman has given birth on a third consecutive Leap Day, tying a record set in the 1960s.

David and Louise Estes’ daughter Jade was born Wednesday morning in Provo, an hour south of Salt Lake City, four years after their son Remington was born on Feb. 29, 2008, and eight years after their son Xavier was born Feb. 29, 2004.

Baby Jade was already five days overdue when doctors induced labor and the family hit the elusive date.

“I have never gone over so I wasn’t sure if she was going to wait,” Louise told The Daily Herald of Provo “As soon as we passed midnight I knew it really, really could happen.”

The only other known case of triple Leap Day babies is the Henriksen family of Norway, which logged Feb. 29 births in 1960, 1964 and 1968, according to the Guinsee LEAP DAY page 7

51-48 U.S. Senate majority upholds birth control insurance rule WASHINGTON (AP) — In an election year battle mixing birth control, religion and politics, Democrats narrowly blocked an effort by Senate Republicans to overturn President Barack Obama’s order that most employers or their insurers cover the cost of contraceptives.

The 51-48 vote on Thursday killed a measure that would have allowed employers and insurers to opt out of portions of the president’s health care law they found morally objectionable. That would have included the law’s requirement to cover

the costs of birth control.

Sen. Olympia Snowe, who this week dropped her re-election bid and cited frustration with the polarized Congress, cast the lone Republican vote to block the measure. Two Democrats up for re-election and one who is retiring voted against Obama’s requirement.

Majority Democrats said the legislation would have allowed employers and insurers to avoid virtually any medical treatment with the mere mention of a moral or religious objection.

“We have never had a conscience clause for insurance companies,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. Insurers, she said, don’t need an invitation to deny coverage for medical treatment. “A lot of them don’t have any consciences. They’ll take it.”

Republicans argued that the requirement under the health care overhaul violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom by forcing insurers and employers to pay for contraception for workers even if the employers’ faith forsee BIRTH CONTROL page 14

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — An assistant football coach credited with chasing a teenage gunman from an Ohio school said Thursday that he wanted families of the three children slain in a shooting spree to know that he comforted the teens as they lay dying after the attack.

“I want you to know I was with them. I prayed with them. I wiped their tears and I know God was with them,” an emotional Frank Hall said during a news conference

shortly after the 17-year-old suspect was charged in the rampage.

Hall, who has been credited by students, faculty and police with chasing the gunman from the school building and perhaps saving more people, brushed aside the accolades.

“I don’t know why this happened. I only wish I could have done more. I’m not a hero. Just a football coach and a study hall teacher,” said Hall, a tall, barrel-chested

man with a boyish face who paused to compose himself at one point and read from notes as he spoke near to the school’s football field.

The emergency responders at the scene were the real heroes, said Hall, who left the outdoor news conference with a colleague’s arm wrapped around him.

Obama gets a warm reception in snowy Nashua; explains high gas prices NASHUA (AP) — President Barack Obama urged New Hampshire residents Thursday to use their “political bull detector” on campaign promises to lower gas prices as he outlined his plans to reduce the country’s dependence on foreign oil.

Gas prices were $3.70 across the street from Nashua Community College, where Obama spoke to a crowd of about 700 who braved icy roads to attend the event. Prices were affected by speculation due to international instability with Iran, the president said, not just supply.

He said United States needs to increase its oil production while investing in new energy sources.

“Now, if there’s one thing I know about New Hampshire, it’s that your political bull detector is pretty keen,” Obama said. “You know that we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices. There are no quick fixes or silver bullets. If somebody tells you there are, they’re not telling you the truth.”

The solution to reducing U.S. dependence on for-

eign oil, he said, would include drilling but also new automotive technologies and energy sources and would continue after his administration was gone.

He praised the city of Nashua’s new, natural gaspowered trash trucks and pointed to a declining dependence on foreign oil since his administration took control in 2009.

Foreign oil accounted for less than 50 percent of domestic consumption in 2010, he said, the first time in 13 years.

While Obama touted large American oil initiatives such as the Oklahoma pipeline to Texas, he also called for a greater focus on renewable energy.

The crowd cheered Obama’s call for cuts to around $4 billion in federal subsidies for the oil industry, though some in the crowd questioned his suggestion to use the money to develop other energy sources.

“It’s basically shifting one subsidy for another,” said Nashua resident David Heath.

Obama thanked the crowd and those who had

greeted him at the tarmac “with icicles on their eyebrows.”

“I am from Chicago. So you know a little snow was not going to keep me away,” he said.

Attendees after the speech said they appreciated the “all of the above” strategy the president advocated and its reach into the future.

“We’re not looking at the short term; we’re looking at the long-term and what our children will have to look forward to,” said Carolyn Oguda, another Nashua resident.

The president’s visit comes one week after Vice President Joe Biden’s speech in Manchester on strengthening the middle class. Obama won New Hampshire in 2008, but the state is expected to be highly contested this year.

Not the year for fat-cat politics Money troubles? Mitt Romney?

The guy who pays a lower tax rate than I do because I actually work? The guy whose wife drives two Cadillacs and hangs with the NASCAR owners?

Yep. He’s got money troubles. Or, as we call it in Los Angeles where the disease is rampant, TMM: Too Much Money. To paraphrase the late, great Ann Richards, he keeps putting that solid gold foot of his right in his mouth. And it could cost him far more than it did George Bush, who was born with a silver foot in his.

The rule of thumb in Democratic circles used to be that “class war” (us against them, them being the millionaires and Wall Street types) got you to about 46-percent, which (barring a third-party challenge) is not enough to win you a general election. To the great frustration of many of us who lived it and watched it, “us against them” poor people (welfare mothers, black criminals) always got you higher numbers than running against Donald Trump and Wall Street. But that was then.

Then was when the average CEO made 40 times what the average working stiff did (the 1970s), or even 100 times (the early ‘90s), but not 300 times (the latest numbers I’ve found). Then was when unemployment was in single digits, a home was a good investment and kids graduated from colleges with four- or five-figure debts, not sixfigure debts and no jobs.

A fat cat may be the only decent choice Republicans have, but this is not the year for fat-cat politics. It’s not the year for a guy who was on board to bail out Wall Street but not the auto industry, despite his love for the height of the trees in Michigan.

And it’s not just Romney who has a problem. Occupy Wall Street was misguided and mismanaged, lacking a coherent theme, a long-term strategy, sophisticated leadership and the rest. But the fact that it struck such a resounding chord notwithstanding the epic confusion tells you something about the state of America today — or rather, to quote poor John Edwards, the two Americas.

I spend much of my time, gratefully, working for one of the most successful law firms in the world, representing many of the most successful companies in the world. The 1-percent, or maybe the 0.1-percent: people who

work too hard but have the luxury of not worrying about money. I spend the rest of my life among friends and family, where the conversation almost always returns to money: friends who have no jobs or are underwater on their houses, whose kids are slammed by debt and unable to make ends meet, or relatives with no jobs and no health insurance. Money. Money worries. And I should add that these are middle-class people I’m talking about.

Middle class doesn’t mean what it used to mean. Middle class means in the middle of the struggle.

Sometimes I wonder whether the people at the top understand this at all. Does Romney know what it’s like to worry about money? Does he have a clue what it means to work your way through school, to think you’re about to live the American dream, only to find that you can’t find a job and the interest payments on your loans keep adding up? Does he know what a foreclosure notice looks like?

Has he ever stood in front of an ATM that won’t spit out cash?

I know, he’s met Jane and Joe and Albert on the campaign trail, and a well-trained aide has trailed behind him and written down their stories so he can use them in a speech or put them in an ad. It’s not the same.

Remember when George Bush lost the election in 1992 because he couldn’t say how the recession had affected him? A stumper. I’m sure Romney is more prepared for that question than most Wall Streeters are, but he’s not the only one who should be looking in the mirror and trying to answer it.

The danger for Romney is that he could become the symbol of the 1-percent who have no clue about the lives of everyone else and, at the end of the day, no real interest, either. It could cost him the election, but the underlying anger could cost all of us far more. It’s a dangerous game, for all sides.

Class warfare may work in this election, but that’s really no cause for celebration, even for those of us who are rooting against Mr. TMM. (Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center. A best-selling author, lawyer and politician, as well as a teacher, she first gained national prominence as national campaign manager for Dukakis for President in 1988.)

And why are we sending food to feed the soldiers of N. Korea?

To the editor, Apparently to run for office in this country one must have a few screws loose. Will someone please tell me just why are shipping food to North Korea to feed their so called citizens (SOLDIERS TO BE PRECISE) so that some other fool can look at the nukes they have aimed squarely at the USA? We

nation since the 1950s and just because you don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it has gone away (the war).

By the way, in March when we go to vote, decide if you want to be sheep playing follow the leader, or have an opinion of your own who would be best in office for all of us.

We invite your participation in conversation about downtown mobility To the editor, The recent Laconia Planning Board meetings surrounding two-way traffic and other potential changes to mobility in, through and around downtown Laconia generated significant public interest. Although it was clear from these meetings that the public did not support two-way traffic around downtown, it was also clear that there was interest in a number of other aspects of the proposed plan. These meetings also made it clear that the public believes that mobility in, through and around downtown Laconia are critical factors in the future of our downtown.

Now is the time to address this important issue.

Lakes Region Listens cordially invites interested members of the public to participate in a community conversation about improving downtown Laconia on Monday, March 5, 2012 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Belknap Mill. The question we will explore in small groups with trained facilitators is: “What changes, if any, should be made to downtown Laconia to improve overall mobility for everyone?”

The information generated by this community conversation will be presented to the Planning Board for their consideration on Tuesday, March 6th. It is our hope that this dialogue will result in a list of priority values and recommendations from the community that will help the Planning Board develop

some near-term, realistic solutions to downtown mobility challenges.

The event flyer and discussion guide provide more details about how the evening will be structured and these may be found on our website www. lakesregionlistens.org, where you will also find a link to all the downtown planning documents on the city’s website, and can learn more about who Lakes Region Listens is and what we are all about.

We will be providing a light supper and will conduct walk-in registration from 5 – 5:30 p.m.. However, to ensure that we have sufficient materials and food for all participants, we urge members of the public to preregister and they may do so by visiting http:// www.surveymonkey.com/s/7PCDJT8 or by sending an e-mail message to lakesregionlistens@gmail.com.

We look forward to listening to your visions, thoughts and ideas for improving mobility in downtown Laconia!

CH Police don’t need private bathroom & private break room, etc To the editor, The proposed million-dollar expansion to the Center Harbor municipal building is excessive and although there is a need for space, the question is, how much space is “needed.”

According to the architect’s plans, the functional space of the town’s administrative offices will only increase by 25- square-feet from its current dimension. It is apparent that the million-dollar proposal is for expansion of the Police Department.

With that said, the proposal calls for the construction of a sally port, a private locker room, a private bathroom, and a private “break room” for police use only. Since there is no holding cell proposed in the plans, is the sally port even necessary? In addition, since the proposal calls for the construction of a

separate bathroom for police use only, is this necessary when such amenities already exist? Finally, the proposal calls for an independent “break room” for police use only when the department consists of only three full-time employees, where much of their time is spent out on patrol. Is such construction even necessary?

We are a small town with a small population where the need for a facility of this magnitude comes into question.

We can achieve the goals we want for our Police Department, town administration and Fire Department without an excessive building proposal that requires taxpayers to reach deep into their pockets.

Burning qurans was bad but killing in retaliation was much worse To the editor, The other day in The Daily Sun was a cartoon of Barack Obama apologizing for the burning of quran and in the background are soldiers unloading the caskets of their comrades. I am sure this was not meant for any other reason than to get our attention and it certainly got mine. What religion would recommend killing innocent people because of the burning of their religious book.

I FEEL IT WAS WRONG TO BURN THESE BOOKS BUT I FEEL IT IS MORE WRONG FOR THE KILLING OF INNOCENT SOLDIERS I have a hard time understanding why we coddle the leaders of Afghani-

stan and Pakistan. The Afgan government is so corrupt and the Pakistan government hid bin Ladin from us and then had the audacity to be upset because we moved in under their nose and killed him. Also, we gave him a lot more respect at burial than the Taliban has given some of our soldiers. These people in Afghanistan have been fighting for thousands of years and will not stop when we leave. Why in the world should we as a country with the economy in the shape that it is in keep pouring money into these corrupt regimes when they hate us but love our money?

Sunday, Bloody Mary Sunday!

LETTERS Total budgets must be put in context of town characteristics To the editor, The residents of Center Harbor recently received a letter opposing the proposed renovations to the town hall/ fire station. The letter points out the disparity of our town budget compared to other towns in the state with similar sized populations. One candidate for selectman is also using this comparison to suggest that he will get spending under control and more in line with that of the other towns cited in the letter.

The comparison of town budgets is a red herring. The only similarity of those towns to ours is the number of residents. No budget figure can give any indication of fiscal responsibility and soundness without investigating the characteristics of the town in question.

For example: — How many children have to be supported in the school system? How large is that district? What is the quality of the schools?

— Is the town situated in an area that gets a lot of tourism and commerce with people moving through at all times or is it in a relative backwater with little activity?

— Does the town have its own police and fire departments? What cooperative arrangements do they have for coverage and what are their levels of activity? What are their response times?

— How many miles of roads do they maintain and how many of those are paved?

— Do they maintain recreational facilities like beaches, boat ramps and athletic fields?

— Do they have town sponsored activities or celebrations?

— Do their town buildings meet all current use and accessibility codes?

— What are their demographics and their relative property values?

This list could go on for a while, but the point is that comparing the final budget figures and drawing firm conclusions is a simplistic approach to conducting the business of a municipality.

The only questions that matter are: What does the town need now? What can we predict it will need in the years to come? What is the best way to fulfill those needs?

The current proposal may not satisfy everyone, but neither is it some fanciful, ill conceived idea.

There has been a lot of work and research done by people with the best interests of the town in mind.

Whether we accept it or reject it we should act with careful consideration and not with a knee jerk reaction to a comparison of figures that tell us nothing.

Please explain how raising the cost of gasoline helps the 99% To the editor, I keep hearing from Democrats and those on the left what a great job Obama is doing, yet a couple of things bother me.

I’ve been writing letters to the editor for years and though many have challenged my opinions there are a couple of things on which I am never challenged.

1. My frequent statement that, “the cost of energy effects every aspect of our lives”. Of course they can’t challenge it’s a universal truth. In case some readers don’t understand what that means, it means if the cost of fuel, goes up then the cost of everything goes up.

2. In his election campaign Obama promised, promised to make the cost of energy soar. (That means go up.) So far he has been keeping his word.

So may I ask Democrats why or how is that a good thing? Look, as for as long as I can remember, the Democratic Party has presented itself as the party of the average American. They have said that they look out for the little guy, the poor, the sick, the elderly and work-

ing families. So how does raising the cost of our energy help those of us that are the 99-percent?

Oh, I know the environment, the environment? That’s all well and good but what about our heating bills. If costs continue to rise do the poor and elderly get to choose between heat or eat? I just love the idea of green, renewable energy. I’ve been waiting 39 years, since the 1973 oil embargo, for those break through predicted then and now. Where are they?

Do readers understand just why Obama wants to drive the cost of conventional fuels up? It’s because green energy still can’t compete either in cost or efficiency with fossil fuels.

It’s not anyone’s fault it JUST IS. So I ask again, how does this help WE THE PEOPLE. We the retired, We the working families, We the single moms? Has any Democrat the answer to my question that makes any sense?

To the editor, Barbara Aichinger is running for the Gilford Budget Committee. Concerned Gilford citizens should vote against her. Based on her own words, Ms. Aichinger seems to have no real interest in the town of Gilford except that she owns two “second” homes here. Her daughter attends school in another town. I wonder if she raises as much hell about educational spending in that town? She insults hard-working public employees while having absolutely no understanding of their responsibilities or credentials. She says that public employees should be “public servants.” That is certainly true. Public employees ARE public servants but Ms. Aichinger seems to expect them to be compensated like domestic servants.

But don’t kid yourselves. Ms. Aichinger always talks about a town living within its means but that is not what she really wants. She does not seem to care about the town. In fact, her only agenda appears to be personal and revolves around not wanting to pay taxes on her prime properties on Governor’s Island. After all, she always signs her letters “Governor’s Island” instead of simply “Gilford.” She has indicated in the past that she does not like being part of Gilford so why should she be part of the Budget Committee?

Some of us who really “live here” don’t “like” property taxes either but are willing to pay them for the good services we receive from our town and its schools. My wife and I have never had kids in the Gilford system either

but we see public education as vital to our community, state, and nation.

It IS about the kids, Ms. Aichinger!

Nobody likes taxation but it is what a civilized society does to provide services for everyone that we cannot provide as individuals such as education, roads, and police and fire protection.

I can certainly empathize with Ms. Aichinger’s frustration with property taxes, especially when those taxes are on not one but two multi-million dollar homes on Governor’s Island. Perhaps instead of bashing public employees and public services, she would like to join the growing number of New Hampshire citizens who think that the “No Tax Pledge” is ridiculously outdated. Maybe she is interested in joining those of us who support a modest sales tax as well as a state income and inheritance tax on the state’s wealthiest citizens? This would certainly reduce the state’s strong reliance on property taxes.

Or, perhaps Ms. Aichinger could simply follow her own advice. She is always preaching that people and governments should “live within their means.” Just a suggestion, Ms. Aichinger, but perhaps you should try living within YOUR means. If you cannot afford the taxes on your luxury homes and don’t want to support other sources of revenue, perhaps you should downsize and try “tightening your belt” like you expect of others. Perhaps you could lower your tax burden by disposing of one of your extra homes?

The authority, outlined below, resides with the moderators. What are the chances of them actually enforcing the law? Will the moderators report the illegal actions of the Parks and Recreation Director for sponsoring an event that features School District employee Kent Hemmingway (employee) speaking about the effects of a tax cap if it passed?

Will they report the Gilford School District’s (employer) web site that features, along with the superintendent’s web page, negative views on most of the Warrant Articles that will appear on the ballot? Is it any wonder why we are a “district in need of improvement” with this kind of leadership? Is it any wonder why the School District

CH spends more on salaries than all but 4 towns under 2,000 pop.

To the editor, The Center Harbor town employees are riding on a “Gravy Train” and the data from the New Hampshire Local Government Center (NHLGC) website proves it. (http://www.nhlgc.org/services/wsbs_currentsurveydata.asp) Here’s the one indisputable fact: In total full and part-time salaries, Center Harbor ranks 5th of the 53 towns with populations below 2000, behind Bradford, Lincoln, Waterville Valley and Newington.

The bloated salaries are just one aspect of the over-the-top spending spree that Center Harbor government delights in.

But what’s truly troubling is the “Exclusive Club” atmosphere that pervades the Center Harbor town government at every level and in every department.

After 10 years of service, Gilford’s BudCom chairman is ready to move on Dick Hickok defends his methods by saying if people willing to volunteer blocks of their time deserve to be heard

By Gail OBer

GILFORD — With 10 years of service to the town’s Budget Committee under his belt, Board Chair Richard “Dick” Hickok is ready to call it quits.

In his 10 years, Hickok came to be seen as a moderating presence on an often unwieldy board that has recently been faced with the often inconsistent goals of reducing the taxpayer’s burden while keeping the town’s service level intact.

“My whole philosophy was to make a change but do it consistently with what the people want,” Hickok said yesterday.

Hickok, a genial man with a laidback and relaxed style, said he had always been good with “budget and numbers” and joined the committee after existing members asked him to fill a vacancy in March of 2000.

New to Gilford in 2000, Hickok said Sue Allen approached him after he asked a question on the floor at Town Meeting about the salaries being paid to the town’s employees.

“I didn’t like the answer,” he said agreeing immediately to take the vacancy.

Hickok said he grew up in a small town in western Pennsylvania. An aeronautical engineer by education, he joined General Electric and worked in the project management side of selling and manufacturing jet engines for defense contractors. The owner of a small camp in northern New Hampshire, Hickok retired in the late 1990s and moved initially to Meredith. A house in Gilford caught his eye and he and his wife moved in September of 1999.

“I really didn’t pick Gilford,” he said. “I just found a house I liked and moved here.”

As to his relaxed style and, to some, a seeming lack of direction as the chairman of the committee, Hickok acknowledged he had “taken his fair share of criticism” but said his goal

was that every voice on the Budget Committee could be heard in public.

“My theory is that these are people who come out once a week, he began.

“It’s unfair to go boom de boom and shut things down.”

“In our meetings we have a lot of discussion. That the way it’s meant to be,” he added.

He said he likes the Budget Committee because it is, by design, large and to some degree, uncontrollable.

“It’s impossible to stack a 12-member committee,” he said.

As to why he was stepping down, Hickok said after 10 years he couldn’t approach the committee with the same enthusiasm he had when he first joined in 2000. He recalled being elected chair in 2004.

When asked what he people to remember form his eight years as chair, he said that he was even-handed even though he held some strong personal opinions.

Hickok said he’ll continue to serve on the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee and will be available to “fill in” as asked.

Hickok also reflected a little bit on life and aging.

“You know, it’s frustrating to not be able to do what I used to be able to do,” he said.

He said he has plenty to do, like taking care of his house, hiking and skiing but now it takes him a week to get done what he used to do in two days.

He also said he wants to do what he wants to do.

“I go days without anything to good to do and then something good comes along and I have a meeting,” he said, noting he never missed meetings just like he never missed work while he was working.

“I guess I’m just tired of it,” he said, adding it’s probably the best reason he can think of to leave.

LEAP DAY from page 2 ness World Records press office. The family holds the Guinness record for most siblings born on Leap Day. Leap Days come once every four years to recalibrate the calendar and account for the 365 days and 6 hours it takes Earth to revolve around the sun. Having a Feb. 29 birthday can be both a blessing and a curse — a “Leapling” can only celebrate their true birthday once every four years.

But they also joke that they age four times slower.

“We’re gonna try to get our oldest a car on his fourth birthday,” Louise joked in an interview with KSL in Salt Lake City.

The Estes family, which has two other children who weren’t born on the special date, says they try to have a large celebration around the end of February and beginning of March each non-Leap Year, in place of the missing birthdate.

This year, Remington and Xavier got their own special birthday cakes and celebrations.

“We always make sure to celebrate their fourth and eighth birthdays in a big way,” Louise said. “It is a milestone for everyone.” Louise Estes said their 8-year-old son Xavier’s Feb. 29 birthday was pure coincidence. But they were a bit more intentional with Leaplings No. 2 and 3.

from preceding page opposing view on the Police Department boondoggle. What’s clear is that anyone who opposes the status quo in Center Harbor will be blacklisted, vilified and personally attacked. It’s sophomoric and pitiful.

It’s time to clean things up and I

strongly urge the voters of Center Harbor to show on March 13th; vote no on Article 2 and elect Barry Borella selectman. Barry will bring strong leadership and fiscal sanity back to Center Harbor town government.

GILFORD from page one Tax cap proponents have now called into question the legal appropriateness of Hemingway’s presumed advocacy. In a letter to the editor published

by The Daily Sun, on Thursday, School Board candidate Doug Lambert noted that state law (RSA 659:44-a) specifically prohibits public employees from electioneering “while in the performance of his or her officials duties. . . “ Electioneering is defined as “an act in any way specifically designed to influence the vote of a voter on any question or office.”

Violation of RSA 659:44-2 can be prosecuted as a misdemeanor crime.

Local schools are on vacation this week and Hemingway was not available for comment on Thursday.

Gilford has become a kind of ground zero since about 40 local residents signed a petition for the warrant article.

Until July of 2011, when the state Legislature voted to allow municipal tax caps, towns and districts were unable to enact so-called caps on spending or the collection of property taxes. The general goal of caps is to limit the amount of revenue raised through local taxation to a fixed percentage of that raised the previous year.

In Gilford’s case – both on the municipal and the school districts side — the percentage called for by the petitioned article is zero . In reality, both the school district and the municipality have proposed budgets that are

less than spend in 2011. However, if passed, in future years the cap would remain in effect and the Budget Committee would still only be allowed to put spending plans before voters that did not increase the amount spent beyond the total for 2011 — thought voters attending the deliberative sessions of town and school meetings would be able to add to those plans, up to 10-percent, by majority vote.

In effect, said lead proponent Barbara Aichinger, it codifies a mechanism by which voters can limit the amount of money a municipality and or a school district can spend.

Greene said he sent Aichinger, a candidate for the Budget Committee, an e-mail on Wednesday asking her if she would be willing and available to participate in the Senior Moment-um forum but he only learned Thursday morning from Town Administrator Scott Dunn that Aichinger was out of town on business.

“Town Administrator Dunn said not having both sides represented in a forum sponsored by the town would be inappropriate and I agreed,” Greene said.

He also said he thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion for the weekly seniors gathering and said he just didn’t think about the political ramifications.

“I really was just trying to give the seniors another interesting luncheon,” Greene said.

According to Dept. Secretary of State David Scanlon, a duly elected board can advocate for or against a political action as long as there is no violation of the Right-To-Know laws requiring all discussion be held in public.

He said the law doesn’t specifically mention using a town or district owned website to expound a position and, to the best of his knowledge, there is no case law that specifically addresses that issue, although an action like a group mailing to residents supporting an issue that is paid for by taxpayers would, in his opinion, be a violation.

A recently as a few days ago, the Gilford School District had a position paper on its website that addressed talking points regarding the proposed tax cap and other petitioned warrant

articles, but the website was unavailable for view yesterday.

The First Amendments rights of an elected town or school district official do not go away simply because they are elected officials. In Gilford case, both the School Board and the Board of Selectmen have unanimously as boards and individually as residents come out against enacting a tax cap.

The School Board is scheduled to meet Monday night at 6 p.m. and included on the agenda is item regarding a position statement about the tax cap and the other petitioned warrant articles.

As to Hemingway’s request to Green about the possibility of a forum he could participate in, School Board Chair Kurt Webber said yesterday he was unable to comment because he was unaware of the specifics of the issue.

CENTER HARBOR from page one some $242,000 withdrawn from a capital reserve fund and a borrowing of $860,000 at 2.15-percent with term of 10 years.

The annual principal and interest payments on the borrowing would amount to $96,000, which represents approximately 20-cents on the current tax rate of $10.96 per $1,000 of assessed value.

According to the 2010 Census the population of Center Harbor was 1,096, about half the number of New Hampton, the second smallest town in Belknap County, which numbered 2,165. But, in 2011 Center Harbor’s tax commitment, or the total amount raised by property taxes, was $5,146,086 represented 89-percent of the $5,747,050 raised in New Hampton.

At $4,695, Center Harbor’s per capita tax burden was easily the highest among the 10 townships in the county, exceeding the $3,923 per capita raised in Gilford by 20-percent. However, the 2011 tax rate of $10.96 was lowest in the county, where Laconia and four of the ten towns have rates of more than $20 per $1,000 of assessed value.

The seeming paradox can be explained by noting that the town has a very small “official” population to spread $5-million in expenses over but also has an extraordinarily high level of taxable property — thanks to waterfront — for only 1,096 people and 145 school-age children. The small number of people keeps the per capita spending level high and nearly a half-billion dollars worth of property keeps the tax rate itself low.

Keith and Pam Markley compare Center Harbor to a dozen other towns with populations of more than 900 and less than 1,200. They found that three — Franconia, New Castle and Washington — raised more than $4-million in property taxes, one — Harrisville — raised more than $3-million, three — Danbury, Richmond and Jefferson — raised more than $2-million, and four — Bath, Stewartstown, Hill and Wentworth — raised more than $1-million.

Of these towns, only New Castle has significant waterfront property.

The town operating budget, excluding appropriations for capital reserve funds and capital projects — all approved by Town Meeting — rose 4.7-percent, from $1,892,578 to $1,983,140, between 2007 and 2011 while a slight decrease is proposed for 2012. During the same period, the municipal share of the tax commitment increased from $2,.2-million to $2.4-million, or by 7.7-percent.

On the other hand, the Inter-Lakes School District’s share of the tax commitment has climbed 26-percent in the same period, from $2,2-million to $2,8-million. According to the census, the school age population of Center Harbor, those aged between 5 and 19, numbered 145 in 2010, representing a per student cost approaching $19,000.

Since 2007 the total tax commitment has risen from $4,5-million to $5.1-million, an increase of 13.4-percent. At the same time, the assessed valuation of the town has grown two-percent, from 464-million to 474-million. Of the 795 residential units in town, 290, or 37-percent, were designated as seasonal by the Census Bureau.

Waterfront muncipalities with significant numbers of relatively valuable seasonal residences tend to spend more than their landlocked counterparts and Center Harbor appears to be no exception. Those who favor expanding the Town Hall note that the tax bill of the average waterfront property, valued at $1.2-million, would increase by $246 a year and they would bear $56,000 of the annual debt service on the borrowing of $96,000.

Among the towns of Belknap County, Center Harbor enjoys the third highest personal income at $33,197 but the eighth highest median household income at $56,838, according to data compiled by the New Hampshire Office of State Planning. Surprisingly, the same source counts 5.8-percent of the population as living in poverty.

The issues of whether government is too big and taxes are too high is less likely to be settled by statistics than by votes cast at Town Meeting on Tuesday, March 13.

BUST from page one A third person, Alicia M. McLean, 23, of 20 True Road #54 in Meredith was wanted on a bench warrant and held in lieu of $327 cash.

Lt. Matthew Canfield said police seized 30 grams of cocaine, 194 oxycodone pills — a narcotic pain reliever — and $1,500 in cash. The street value of the cocaine is about $3,000 and the pills have a street value of between $30 and 35 each.

Allard and Stevens refused bail and will appear in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, this morning.

N.H. Department of Corrections records show Allard was paroled from N.H. State Prison on January 31, 2012 after serving nearly two years of a 2-to-6 year sentence for simple assault, kidnapping, and assault by prisoner. Records also show he served 22 months in state prison from January 7, 2005 to November 18, 2007 for robbery.

Capt. William Clary said the raid was the result of the work an investigation conducted by LPD detectives. He said the arrests were made without incifrom preceding page crimes in Ohio are typically behind bars only until they turn 21 in the most serious cases. But Joyce has already said he plans to charge Lane as an adult, meaning he could face life in prison without parole if convicted of similar adult charges.

Minors are not eligible for the death penalty in Ohio, whether they are convicted as juveniles or adults.

Lane’s attorney, Robert Farinacci, could not be reached for immediate comment on the charges. A message was left at his office.

Lane, who attends an alternative school for students who haven’t done well in traditional schools, admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to Chardon High and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table Monday morning, Joyce said.

Killed were Demetrius Hewlin, 16, Russell King Jr., 17, and Daniel Parmertor, 16. Parmertor’s visitation is scheduled Friday in Eastlake, with a funeral Mass set for Saturday morning. Visitation is planned Monday evening in Chardon for Hewlin, and his funeral Mass is Tuesday morning. King’s visitation will be Wednesday, with a funeral the next morning in Chardon.

The motive for the shooting is unclear, though Joyce has appeared to rule out theories involving

Hewlin attended Chardon High. King and Parmertor were students at a vocational school and were waiting in the Chardon High cafeteria for their daily bus when they were shot.

Parmertor had just gotten his first job at a bowling alley and couldn’t stop talking about how excited he was to pick up his first paycheck later this week, his parents said.

Two other students were wounded. Nick Walczak remains in serious condition. An 18-year-old girl was released from the hospital Tuesday.

Lane was a normal boy who excelled in school and played outside often with his sister, building snow hills and skateboarding, according to Steve Sawczak, a family friend who’s a pastor and has worked with troubled children.

He said he never would have allowed his own grandchildren to play nearby if he thought anything was wrong with Lane.

Black Bear’s ‘Charbucks’ brand roast wins another round in court in battle with Starbucks

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TUFTONBORO — Jim Clark of Black Bear Micro Roastery says that while he’s pleased with December’s ruling by the U.S. District Court in New York that his company’s ‘’Charbucks’’ roast doesn’t infringe on the coffee giant Starbuck’s trademark, he’s not yet ready to uncork the victory champagne. ‘’It’s close to the end of the final chapter. But there’s the inevitable appeal by Starbucks to the Circuit Court of Appeals,’’ says Clark, who has been battling with Starbucks for nearly 15 years now over his right to use the ‘’Charbucks’’ name for one of his coffees.

Clark and his wife, Annie, started their coffee roasting business in nearby Wolfeboro in 1995, selling their roasted coffee beans through mail order and in local stores and in 1997 launched the Charbucks brand, a dark roast which he says was created at the suggestion of his customers, who wanted a darker roast.

“New England has never really been a place where dark roast coffee was popular. I thought it was kind of funny that people would want something that to me was over-roasted. So that’s how I came up with the name,’’ said Clark.

It wasn’t long after launching the brand that his wife got a call from Starbucks, telling them to stop using the name because it infringed on their name and was confusing to their customers.

“They were so demanding and controlling, telling us what to do. We don’t like being pushed around and told what to do,’’ says Clark, who says that caused them to dig in their heels, even to the point of refusing a a settlement offer from Starbucks. They were later vindicated when a federal judge ruled in December of 2005 that they could continue selling coffee with the Charbucks name.

“It was quite a victory for a small business like ours that only does about $200,000 a year in sales,” says Clark.

But the victory was short-lived. In 2006 Congress amended the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FTDA), which permitted companies holding trademarks to only prove the likelihood of dilution, rather

Five years ago in February a federal judge in the Second Circuit Appeals Court in New York sided with Starbucks, based on the new legislation, and sent the case back to the lower court for a new trial based on the change in federal law.

Clark said that he has been represented in the most court proceedings on a pro bono basis by Attorney Christopher Cole of the Manchester law firm of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass and Green and that the case see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 2, 2012— Page 11

from preceding page is receiving wide attention in nation’s legal system and will soon be featured in a text book which is being written for law school students. ‘’There’s a lot at stake here. It’s a big case for everybody,’’ says Clark.

Clark says that if he wasn’t in the business of making and selling his unique gourmet coffees he would still have to keep roasting his own coffee beans.

“I can’t find coffee I like anywhere else. That’s how we got into this business in the first place,” says Clark.

The company is still small, producing about 300 pounds of coffee per week, and that’s the way the Clarks like it, preferring to focus on quality to the point where they refuse to sell to stores that keep their products on the shelf too long.

“We want to maintain our reputation for quality and freshness. And anything that diminishes the customer’s enjoyment of our coffees only hurts us,”’ says Clark, who spent nearly three years of research, including work with a chemist, before he was ready to launch the coffee roasting business.

He says that controlling the quality of the beans throughout the entire process was the key to producing great tasting coffee. ‘’Getting the right beans at the right time, storing them properly so that exposure to heat and moisture are controlled and using a roasting process which keeps the beans from being unevenly roasted are the keys. Too much coffee is over-roasted and that includes the big, national gourmet brands,” says Clark.

He says that his roasting process, which is computerized and uses an Italian coffee roaster, helps retain the flavor by protecting the surface of the beans from being damaged by heat and, unlike other roasting processes, his starts with a blast of hot air and sees temperature drop during the roast.

In the first few minutes the 33 pounds of coffee

beans are hit with a blast of hot air which pushes the temperature inside the roaster to 1,100 degrees, followed by an approximately nine-minute period in which the heat drops around 550 degrees and the beans reach around 420 degrees.

He said that other coffee roasters keep the heat at over 1,000 degrees, damaging the surface of the beans and creating a chemical reaction in the beans which create phenyls, chemicals which give a bitter taste and aroma to the beans.

“Everyone who drinks my coffee remarks about the lack of bitterness. That’s why we have such a loyal following,’” says Clark, who sells his roasted coffee beans through mail order all over the world and in local stores as far away as Cape Cod. While the roasting process is unique, getting high quality green coffee beans is also a major component of high quality. Black Bear buys coffee beans from all over the world, Kenya, Sumatra, Brazil, Colombia, Sumatra and Guatemala.

But the beans aren’t purchased until they’ve reached the United States and their characteristics have been tested by experts.

“That means we have to pay top dollar, but we are paying for a proven product of known high quality,” says Clark, who says that the sharp rise in worldwide commodity prices in recent years has made his business even more challenging.

Because the beans are all purchased around the same time, storage is another key aspect of quality control. Green coffee beans will degrade rapidly in a hot, humid environment. To retain freshness, Black Bear stores their beans in a refrigerated storage room, where the temperature is maintained at 47-degrees and the beans are kept at 53-percent moisture content.

It took a long time to work it out, but it really makes a difference in maintaining consistent quality,” says Clark.

BREITBART from page 2 les enclave favored by the Hollywood elite he so often mocked.

Breitbart used his website to promote a hidden-camera video with actors posing as customers that led the downfall of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. He posted explicit photos of former Rep. Anthony Weiner that caused the New York congressman to resign in a sexting scandal, and an edited video that caused former U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod to resign over sincereversed perceptions she was a racist.

In a new media age, Breitbart argued that anyone with a laptop could reshape public discourse. He

used his skills at sites like Big Journalism and Big Government and his takedown of Weiner established him as a conservative media star.

He was filled with contradictions. He was a selfavowed enemy of the mainstream media, yet he subscribed to The Associated Press and admitted loving the venerable news agency’s photos that came from afar. “It’s a love-hate relationship,” he confided at a quiet moment. He pleaded with conservatives to drive relentlessly forward — walk into the line of fire, he would say — yet the final sentence from his prolific and often caustic voice on Twitter was, ironically, an apology for calling a follower a “putz,” just in case he misunderstood a message to him.

by Chad Carpenter

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s something tangible you want to have by the end of the day. You will narrow your choices and home in on your top priority. You wisely realize that if you chase everything, you get nothing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There are a certain number of halffinished projects in your past, and you have that in common with many other creative people. Seize today’s opportunity to complete a journey, or at least commit to completing it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All skills require time, patience and practice to learn. As much as you wish for instantaneous knowledge, the very nature of knowing is that it happens through a process. So relax and get ready to go through all of the steps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Wanting something else doesn’t lessen the value in what you already have.

Take measures to care for and protect what you have, and you’ll see the great power and opportunity in it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Checklists will be involved. There’s something wonderful about doing exactly what you expected to be doing. Feeling like you are in control of your time will bring you great happiness.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 2).

The next seven weeks represent the end of a cycle, and you’ll celebrate accomplishment and completion. May brings new adventures. Quality time with family and relationship-related events could cause you to change your career trajectory in June. A hobby that has nothing to do with your job will feed your spirit in August. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 12, 25 and 40.

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may suffer from a kind of urban ennui.

The bustle around you seems like a rerun of yesterday’s drama. Break the pattern by finding reasons to laugh out loud. You’ll probably have to go out of your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No matter what you achieve, however big or small it may be, you don’t forget your roots. You feel gratitude toward the people who have helped you, and you’ll be sure to express it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You tend to concentrate on one thing until you’re sure it’s solved. It’s a bit like your mind is a television show, and you don’t want to change the channel until the end credits roll.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid being so conscious of returning favors that you don’t enjoy the kindness that others are trying to give you. You’re a good person, and your heart is in the right place. All will balance out in the end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s natural that you would want to hold on to certain things for sentimental reasons. However, if you have hundreds of such items, the feeling is diluted. Let go of old possessions, and make way for the new.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even when you are overwhelmingly happy with a result, you believe there’s always room for improvement. This mindset is what keeps you learning and growing all day long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Much good comes from your ability to delay gratification. If you catch yourself thinking of the short term, stop and go for a broader perspective. Before committing to an action, ask yourself what it will likely lead to in the long run.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 2, 2012— Page 13

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, March 2, the 62nd day of 2012. There are 304 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks, an NBA record that still stands. (Philadelphia won, 169-147.)

On this date: In 1793, the first president of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, was born near Lexington, Va. In 1836, the Republic of Texas formally declared its independence from Mexico.

In 1861, the state of Texas, having seceded from the Union, was admitted to the Confederacy.

In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 presidential election over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, even though Tilden had won the popular vote.

In 1917, Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship as President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act. In 1932, the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, which moved the date of the presidential inauguration from March 4 to January 20, was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification.

In 1939, Roman Catholic Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (puh-CHEL’-ee) was elected pope on his 63rd birthday; he took the name Pius XII. In 1943, the World War II Battle of the Bismarck Sea began; U.S. and Australian warplanes were able to inflict heavy damage on a Japanese convoy.

In 1951, the East beat the West, 111-94, in the first NBA All-Star Game, which took place at Boston Garden.

In 1972, the United States launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, which flew past Jupiter in late 1973, sending back images and scientific data.

In 1989, representatives from the 12 European Community nations agreed to ban all production of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) by the end of the 20th century.

One year ago: The Supreme Court ruled, 8-1, that a grieving father’s pain over mocking protests at his Marine son’s funeral had to yield to First Amendment protections for free speech in a decision favoring the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. A man armed with a handgun attacked a bus carrying U.S. Air Force troops at Frankfurt airport, killing two airmen before being taken into custody.

Sanbornton Democrats to caucus at library on March 8 SANBORNTON — Sanbornton Democrats will meet on Thursday, March 8 at 7 p.m. at the Sanbornton Public Library to elect town Democratic officers and a town delegate to the New Hampshire Democratic Party state convention this spring.

Local officers and delegates vote on the state Democratic platform and matters that influence policy that come before the Party convention each year. Any registered Democrat can run for an office on the town Democratic committee and those interested in government but new to the political process are welcome to attend and become active.

“I’m appalled at the socially and economically irresponsible legislation coming out of the House of Representatives led by Speaker William O’Brien.

2012 is a critical election year for New Hampshire Democrats and independent voters who want common sense returned to Concord,” said Gail Morrison, town Democratic chair pro tem, who represented Belknap District 2 for two terms in the NH House before retiring in 2008. Former state representative Liz Merry, Belknap County Democratic Chair, is expected to speak briefly to the group in attendance.

For further information, contact Gail Morrison at 286-4596.

Gilford library hosts local photo exhibit this month GILFORD — Local photographer, Emery Swanson will have a gallery showing of his work at the Gilford Public Library, 31 Potter Hill Road, during the month of March.

Swanson is a founding member of the Gilford Clickers photography club, and last year formed his own company, which specializes in landscape and floral photography for businesses and homes. His work features images primarily from the Lakes Region area.

“I joined the Clickers photography club for something to do once a month”” says Swanson, “but that has blossomed into an all-consuming pas-

sion. After encouragement from my family, I started doing art fairs as a way to turn this passion into some extra income. But after doing that, I realized that I get the biggest personal satisfaction from seeing people look at my work and smile. Or listen to them reminisce about going to some of the places in my pictures. I love the stories. I get so charged up when I see that my work has touched someone.”

Swanson’s work can be seen on the first floor of the Gilford Public Library, or by checking his website www.

LSH band boosters holding fundraiser on Mar. 6 GILFORD — The Laconia Sachems Band Boosters is having a dinner fundraiser at Patrick’s Pub on Tuesday, March 6 from 5-9 p.m.

The organization is calling on all band, chorus and color guard mem-

bers, past, present and future, to show up to support the band’s Disney trip to Florida in April. Half of the bill for the meal will go to support the fundraising effort.

BIRTH CONTROL from page 2 its use. Roman Catholic leaders have strongly opposed the requirement.

The Senate vote aside, the debate “won’t be over until the administration figures out how to accommodate people’s religious views as it relates to these mandates,” said the measure’s sponsor, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. “This is a debate that might be settled at that building across the street,” he

said, referring to the Supreme Court.

Such cultural issues have been prominent in this presidential election year, with Republican presidential candidates casting Obama’s health care law as government overreach into the most personal types of medical decisions. The contraception policy in particular touches on religious and women’s rights important to the activists at the core of each party.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 2, 2012— Page 15

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our son’s first marriage ended in divorce 10 years ago. From that union, we have a wonderful 13-year-old grandson.

Our ex-daughter-in-law, “June,” remarried quickly, and that marriage failed about 18 months ago. Apparently, she used our names as a credit reference, because we’ve been getting calls from several collection agencies asking for June by her most recent married name. After the first call, I told the agency I would not give out her phone number but would have June call them. I sent her a letter with the pertinent information. She phoned and said I should tell these callers I don’t know her.

Lately, I’ve responded to these agencies by saying June hasn’t been in the family for 10 years and I don’t know how to reach her. Lying isn’t my normal operating procedure, but in this instance, it seems the safest. I don’t know what type of retribution there would be for our son, our grandson or us if June thought we turned her in. The calls are getting more frequent, and we’re tired of them. What do you suggest? -Ex-In-Laws Dear In-Laws: There are laws in place to prevent harassment of third parties by collection agencies. Keep in mind, however, that if the collection agencies have reason to believe you are lying to them about June’s location, you might not have much recourse in getting them to stop. But please report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state attorney general’s office and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov).

Dear Annie: My husband recently retired, but I still work full time at an office. My problem? My husband does not feel he should have to help me in any way with the household chores. He absolutely refuses.

I have asked him numerous times to please put dinner on

before I get home from work, but it falls on deaf ears. I might add that he’s an excellent cook when he is so inclined. A number of his friends are also retired, and they joke among themselves about how domesticated they have become around the house, but my husband just won’t budge. I even mow the lawn in the summer and shovel the snow in winter.

I may as well be living on my own. I’m not getting any younger and am simply too tired to keep up with everything along with my full-time job. All I ask is that he take over a couple of chores so I can have a little downtime on the weekends. Is this too much to ask? Don’t suggest a housekeeper.

He would never allow it. Nor would he ever go for counseling. -- Tired and Worn Out in Canada Dear Tired: Might your husband be depressed since retiring? It is not uncommon and could explain his lethargy and intransigence. But you should not be exhausted because he cannot or will not help out. If you are earning enough to hire housekeeping help, we recommend you do so whether he approves or not. You also could minimize your efforts around the house so that you handle your own laundry and meals and leave him to cook and clean for himself. Of course, he still may not lift a finger, but at least you won’t be doing his work as well as your own.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Heartbroken Mother,” whose daughter thinks her family will be an embarrassment at her upscale wedding.

I chuckled because, recently, a friend was extremely worried about her “rough and tumble” blue-collar family behaving properly at her well-planned and expensive wedding to a wonderful professional man.

Well, liquor can even the playing field. Her family behaved perfectly. The groom’s upscale family, however, nearly ruined the event. -- Michigan

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 2, 2012— Page 17

Winni Playhouse announces schedule of productions for its 9th summer season LACONIA — After a solidly sold-out run of “To Kill a Mockingbird” by its community theatre branch, the Winni Players, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is now underway with preparations for its ninth summer season and recently announced the titles of the productions which will take place at its Weirs Beach venue. The summer season kicks off on June 20th but tickets and subscriptions are already on sale.

The first play of the season will be the raucus comedy, “The Complete History of America (Abridged)” by Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor. In this play, actors romp through 600 years of history, lampooning everything from the midnight ride of Paul Revere to the Watergate scandal. It will be directed by guest director Keith Weirich, who recently won a NH Theatre Award for Best Director.

The show will run from June 20-30.

The second play of the season will be “Epic Propor-

Duties include: mowing, raking, landscaping, rubbish removal, janitorial cleaning and building maintenance. Valid NH Driver's License, physical and background check required.

tions” by Larry Coen and David Crane, who was one of the creators of t.v.’s “Friends”. The play is a spoof of 1930s Hollywood epics and is set in the Arizona desert where a put-upon assistant, Louise (originally played on Broadway by Kristen Chenoweth), is charged with managing 3,400 extras. Among them are two brothers who begin as extras but, by the time filming wraps, one is directing the movie and the other starring in it. When they both fall in love with Louise, their rivalry threatens to tear the whole picture apart. Epic Proportions runs from July 4-14.

The third play has the the distinction of being the longest running Western play of all time. Its’ London production turns 60 this year and in honor of that great milestone, 60 productions have been liscened throughout the world, including its run at The Winnipesaukee Playhouse. Agatha Christie’s classic whodunnit, “The Mousetrap” will take to the stage from July 18-28.

The fourth offering is by Alfred Uhry, the author of “Driving Miss Daisy” which was a huge hit in the Playhouse’s 2009 season. “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” won a Tony Award for Best Play when it debuted in 1997. Like Daisy, it tells the story of a Jewish family living in the South. Set in Atlanta in

1939, the world premiere of “Gone with the Wind” is the backdrop for the sweet and sentimental play which will run from August 1-11.

The season will finish thrills and chills when Jeffrey Hatcher’s adapatation of Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw plays from August 15-25. It’s the story of a young governess who journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But all is not what it seems and she soon suspects that the untimely deaths of the former governess and her valet lover have cast an evil presence over the house.

All summer performances will run Monday-Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Mondays at 2 p.m.

Subscription packages are currently on sale allowing audience members to see all five plays (or pick four of the five) at a great savings. Tickets can be booked by calling 366-7377 or stopping by the theatre located in the Alpenrose Plaza in Weirs Beach.

Finally, the Playhouse will once again be offering summer acting camps. This year campers can choose from full or half day options. Camps are held at the Winni Playhouse’s Meredith Campus on Reservoir Road and information and dates can be found at www.winniplayhouse.org.

Maple Sugar Madness at Prescott Farm Conservancy every Saturday in March LACONIA — For over 11 years Prescott Farm has been offering their Maple Sugar Madness programs to school groups and the public during the month of March. On Saturdays, March 3-31 the public is invited to come and take part in this 1.5 hour program. Available program times include; 10-11:30 a.m., noon-1:30 p.m. and 2-3:30 p.m. All that attend will get to experience an old-fashioned New England tradition of making maple syrup.

From tapping a tree to tasting delicious maple syrup, there will be hands-on participation in every step of the syrup making process. The farm’s environmental educators will help people to build tree ID skills and learn the parts of a tree and their functions, use measuring tools to find an appropriate tree to tap, use historical and modern tree tapping tools, learn the history of maple sugaring, including Native American legends,

and discover the math and chemical/physical science in the boiling process. The program also involves a 20 minute walk to the center’s Sugar House.

Prescott Farm offers year-round environmental education programs such as vacation camps for children ages 4-15, field trips for local schools, maple sugaring programs, and long-term naturalist-in residence programs with four local elementary schools.

The 160-acre historic family farm includes wood-

land and field trails, a “green” building with geothermal and solar energy systems, historic barns, an old-fashioned maple sugaring operation, heritage gardens, and a forested pond.

Reservations are required. Cost is $5/adult; $4/ child age 4-12 for PFEEC members and $8/adult; $7/ child age 4-12 for non-members. Ages 3 and under are free. Reserve a spot by calling 366-5695 or sending an email to info@prescottfarm.org.

Gunstock Mountain Resort hosting U.S. Telemark Ski Championships over weekend of March 9-11 GILFORD — Telemark skiing will be making history at Gunstock Mountain Resort when it hosts the 2012 U. S. Telemark National Championships on March 9, 10, and 11 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Josh Lanzetta, a member of the U. S. Telemark Ski Team and organizer of this national event, will be competing during the championships. Lanzetta grew up in the area and began skiing at Gunstock at the tender age of two and was a member of the Gunstock Ski Team. After living in Colorado for a number of years and competing in Nordic and Alpine events, he returned to New Hampshire to live and is thrilled to be once again skiing and racing at Gunstock, this time racing in Telemark events.

Telemark skiing is named after the Telemark region in Norway, its country of origin. Often called Tele or free heel skiing, the sport is known for its graceful turns and grueling physical activity. A typical Telemark race course begins with what looks like a Giant Slalom, then utilizes a ski jump, incorporates a 360-turn called a reipeløkke and then ends with a skate-ski across the finish line.

When the popularity of Alpine skiing soared

during the 1960’s, interest in Telemark skiing waned, not only at Gunstock but across the country as well. In recent years the sport began to experience a comeback as skiers started to embrace Tele skiing, which they find to be just another way to play on the mountain. Advances in Telemark equipment have also lead to the resurgence of the sport.

Competitors are encouraged to register on-line through March 4 or on the day of the race. The weekend will feature races in Classic, Sprint Classic and Giant Slalom. Race categories will inclue Citizen’s (just for fun), Junior 1, Junior 2, and Elite. A banquet with the US National racers will be held on Saturday night. People can register online for the banquets and races at www.ustsa.org or follow the link on the events page at gunstock.com.

The public is invited to attend this event, learn more about this exciting sport, and meet the members of the U. S. Telemark Ski Team. More information about this event and Telemark skiing can be found on the website of the United States Telemark Skiing Association at: www.nstnsa.org.
